O.k. the kids are 'farm fresh' and ran a little wild this weekend while I traveled back and forth to the show, but I couldn't resist our first formal stack session today for their 7 week birthday! We have been using a lick mat with some pork & venision canned food on it and rewarding them first just for standing on the table, then raising it up a little so they start bringing their head up, then start moving feet, etc... all while they are licking and not paying too much attention. You can tell if you went too far too fast as they will stop licking and look at you like 'hey wait a minute'.
My goal is to have them as comfortable as possible to show me what they have during that 8 week +/- 3 days window for structure evaluations.
